How to Watch the 2026 Super Bowl With the Iconic Ads on TV, Streaming, and Online
Live TV:
For English-language viewers, NBC will be the home of the Super Bowl in 2026, with hours of pregame coverage leading up to kickoff. Spanish-language viewers will be able to watch the game and the pregame content simultaneously on Telemundo and Universo.
Streaming:
Peacock will be streaming the 2026 Super Bowl live, and as cabletv.com reports, it will include the iconic commercials that many viewers look forward to. NFL+ will offer mobile streaming of the game, and that streaming service's website states that "live games include advertising consistent with the television broadcast."
Online:
For fans who don't have access to Peacock or a traditional TV package, several live TV services carry local NBC affiliates that will air the Super Bowl and its ads. An ABC News article lists options like YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Xfinity, Spectrum, Hulu + Live TV, Dish, Sling TV, Fios, Fubo, Optimum, and more as examples of that.

There may even be a way to watch the Super Bowl for free through Tubi, although that isn't confirmed yet. As a Parade article shows, Tubi viewers were able to watch the 2025 Super Bowl for free on a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV through the company's ad-supported service. That may also be the case again in 2026, so that is something to keep an eye on. Another free Super Bowl viewing option will be available to people who have access to an over-the-air antenna that captures an NBC feed.
